County Buildings, Peebles

County Hall is a municipal structure in Rosetta Road in Peebles, Scotland.

[1] The building has its origins in the Peebles Combination Poorhouse which was designed by William Lambie Moffat and completed in 1856.

[4] The poorhouse served as military hospital for service personnel who had been wounded on the Western Front during the First World War[5] and was then acquired by the Peeblesshire County Education Authority in 1921.

The remodelled structure was designed by Peddie and Todd in the Baroque style, built in ashlar stone with a harled finish and was completed in 1935.

At roof level, there was a large octagonal cupola on a balustraded base with an ogee-shaped dome.
